For some reason on my LG G Watch R the Google Play Services is so far out of date it can't update itself. Therefore I can't install apps aside from sideloading. I'm also restricted to Android SDK 25 and below, due to the age of the OS.

All I want from the smart watch is local music played to my bluetooth earphones for running. Once AsteroidOS has a local music player, that may be an alternative.

This should work on other older Wear devices too.

Requirements:

1. Old smart watch
2. Modern Android device to extract and push the old WearMedia Wear APK
3. Some other PC to push music files via adb

Background

When upgrading to Terraform 0.13 where runs driven by VCS and state is stored remotely (in this case Terraform Cloud)

I had an issue where a public Github module I was using included versions.tf which fails on older terraform versions.

I'd never used terraform locally, only connected the repository to Terraform Cloud.

The terraform 0.13upgrade is only in the 0.13 binaries, I had to download the old binary for my OS and run that specifically.
